If today was not an endless highway
If tonight was not a crooked trail
If tomorrow wasn't such a long time
Then lonesome would mean nothing to me at all

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear his heart softly pounding
Yes, and only if he was lying by me
Would I lie in my bed once again

I can't see my reflection in the waters
I can't speak the sounds that show no pain
I can't hear the echo of my footsteps
Or remember the sound of my own name

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear his heart softly pounding
Yes, and only if he was lying by me
Would I lie in my bed once again

There's beauty in that silver singing river
There's beauty in that sunrise in the sky
But none of these and nothing else can touch the beauty
That I remember in my true love's eyes

Yes, and only if my own true love was waiting
If I could hear his heart softly pounding
Yes, and only if he was lying by me
Would I lie in my bed once again

Not in mental age though; as the rest of his "canon" testifies.
I want my Nickel back
Reminiscent of Melanie’s ‘Brand New Key’ the first 45 record I ever bought in Singapore 1974~ish with my own pocket money, from KC Tangs I believe! Wow such wholesome melodies and memories❤️
Great voice that will sound ever better when her tonality builds with nice wines, true friends, and unbridled passion with her true love 💕
Very Nice....original
Nice. A beautiful voice she has.
Nice set Willy

That's a very nice version.  Thanks. 
Rod Stewart's cover (Every Picture Tells a Story ) much, much better than this one.
Missed this song.Good cover.
A Bob Dylan cover..
